Those of you with cavity walls - Condensation on house windows in Winter...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Karcher to clear up any pools of water.

Good dehumidifier works wonders, and of course blows warm dry air back around the house too. You also get free demineralised water for your car too!

In a bigger, older house, a log burner or multifuel stove will work wonders, as they make the house "breath".

We currently are using all 3 methods as all family home for Xmas! No real condensation problems despite solid walls.

New windows or new roughcast? Dehumidifiers work well don't half rip the water out but there must be a reason. I ran an Ebac dehumidifier for years and it worked great, litres of water each day. Do you dry your clothes inside, that is the worst for creating condensation.

Cheers, Stevie.

Dehumidifier - run one for years in my porch, no form of heating in it, was always damp/cold, makes such a difference. Have an eBac came with 5 year warranty that was used once last year before it expired. Had no issue with the customer service from them.

Another vote for Ebac - on my third (at least..)

Karcher window vac great for sucking up the condensation - bought a refurb one from karcher for about £25 - I think they come with 12 months warranty now (mine was 6 months at the time). Only deals with the symptoms though - you need a solution to the cause, which is probably down to ventilation - also good point made about drying clothes indoors
